In anticipation of a forthcoming person portrait (to be added to this blog shortly) I used this session to become more confident at capturing the features and the application of layers to build tone and form. I also carried further the idea of minimising the pencil work and used the paint in layers to define edges.
As part of this I explored the principle that tone goes across boundaries (eg. the edge of the arm) and does not simply sit neatly where it is expected to be. The model looks rather stern but I'm pleased with the ideas it has given me. Roll on next week!
